Hi markswell,

There are various graphic cards that work very well with OSx86. However, your decision should depend on your requirements.
How much performance do you need? What is your range of application?

For instance, I use a NVidia 7600 GT 256MB. It works flawlessly and I never had any problems. It has enough power to enable smooth Quartz Extreme & Core Image, and works fine for design and development. I don't know how well this card can be used for gaming, because I don't have any experience, but I suppose a 8600 GT could work quite fine for that purpose.

The main purpose of my system to web programm and web design.
Rarely i use window to play some games.I wait Diablo 3 damn.I need cheap video.
My video now is ok but too uncompatible.Although i change my amd to intel later.And now want to change video.
It can be GeForce 8600 cheap 8800 and 9600 models.
I do not use GeForce on hackintosh so i even don't know how to fix them.

GeForce 8800GT 512MB Asus Apple graphics update 10.5.2+NV 41. from HCL 10.5.2.
Is it good to use in hack mac ?

The 8800GT is absolutely perfect for Hacks.
